Ziyao Lin
Ziyao Lin is an artist and PhD researcher at Loughborough University. Her work spans digital art, experimental video, and installation, exploring the entangled relationship between individuals and nature, technological ethics, and micro-politics. She interrogates how technological systems can both alleviate and intensify the scarcities of contemporary life—emotional, temporal, and relational. Combining autoethnography with media experimentation, her practice resists accelerationism and evokes sensitivity toward what is missing or emotionally impoverished.
Her art does not offer solutions, but asks: In a world rich in technology, what becomes scarce?

About the work the artist said:
“In this piece, I use soft textures, visual haze, and intentional noise to evoke the fragile process of reconstruction. The children, sitting quietly in a bombed-out structure, are not just survivors; they are students, dreamers, and quiet builders of what comes next. Everything is unclear, incomplete — because rebuilding takes time.”
